CHAPTER 2

PREAMBLE In spite of various preventive and precautionary measures taken in the plant, the possibility of

a mishap cannot be totally ruled out. Hence, the need to prepare a Contingency Plan for

dealing with incidences which may still occur and are likely to affect LIFE and / or PROPERTY,

both within the plant and in the immediate neighborhood.

Such an emergency could be the result of malfunction of the Plant & Equipment or non-

observance of operating instructions. It could, at times, be the consequence of acts outside

the control of plant management like severe storm, earthquake, flooding, or deliberate acts of

arson or sabotage.

A Major Emergency in the plant is one that may cause serious injury or loss of life and damage

to the property.

This On Site Emergency Plan (OEP) explains the code of conduct of all personnel in the plant

along with the actions to be carried out in case of an Emergency. This plan gives the

guidelines for employees, contractors, transporters, etc. It not only defines responsibilities but

also informs about prompt rescue operations, evacuations, rehabilitation, co-ordination and

communication.

1. EMERGENCY:

An Emergency is a situation, which may lead to or cause large-scale damage or

destruction of life, property or environment within or out side the Factory. Such an

unexpected situation may be too difficult to handle for the normal work force within the

plant.

2. NATURE OF EMERGENCY:

The emergency specified in the OEP refers to occurrence of one or more of the following

events: -

6

a. Fire/Explosion.

b. Major accident such as structural or building collapse, overturning of road tanker

containing flammable substances.

c. Natural calamities like storm, flood, earthquake, etc.,

d. Sabotage act of terrorism, civil commotion, air raid etc.

3. PROCESS DESCRIPTION: A brief description of the Manufacturing Process is given in ‘Annexure A’.

4. IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS AREAS:

neighborhood.

d ) To make head count and carry out rescue operations.

e ) To treat the injured persons.

f ) To preserve records and to take steps to prevent recurrence.

g ) To restore normalcy.

6. EMERGENCY CONTROL CENTRE:

For the purpose of handling emergency, the following Emergency Control Centers has

been identified.

• During normal working hours - The Administrative Office

• During other times - The Security Office.

All communications to and from will originate at this CONTROL CENTRE. The

Emergency Control Center will have the following: -

a) A copy of ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN.

b) List of important telephone numbers such as Police, Fire

Brigade, Hospitals, and other outside Emergency Services, etc. (Refer

Annexure B).

9. TRAINING AND EDUCATION:

Experience with on site –emergency planning has proved the need of training and

rehearsal. Major emergency procedure should be laid down clearly and convincingly to

everyone on site particularly Key Personnel and Essential workers.

It is obvious that in house or outdoor training is essential. The duties and responsibilities

of each person and the emergency procedure to be followed by him should be very

clear.

a. Seminar/refresher guidance On Site Emergency Plan.

b. Emergency instruction Booklet.

Seminar: Seminar is conducted in house/. Site controller will explain the plan to all

associated concerned employees.

Expert from outside explain the plan to all associated concerned employees. Expert from

also may be invited to impart training.

Emergency instruction Booklet:

Emergency instruction Booklet contains all detailed emergency duties. The booklet contains –

Emergency duties,

Reporting relationship.

Thus everyone is conspicuous about his role in the Emergency Plan.

10. MOCK REHEARSAL: Inform all the employees about mock drill.

Fix the date for mock drill.

Observers will not be involved in the exercise. They will monitor the Mock drill.

Emergency Siren / alarm will be raised.

After hearing the Siren / alarm, Emergency procedure will be followed as mentioned

in the OEP.

Observer will note down the activities with respect to the time.

ANNEXURE ‘A’ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS I. Preparation of the Resins : In the proposed unit, phenol formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde resin will be manufactured. The manufacturing process description for both resins are as presented hereunder :

(a) Phenol formaldehyde (p-f) resin:

Although phenolic resins have been known and widely utilized for over many years their detailed chemical structure remains to be established. It s now known that the resins are very complex and that the various structures present will depend on the ratio of phenol to formaldehyde employed, the pH of the reaction mixture and temperature of the reaction.

Phenol formaldehyde resin is manufactured by the condensation polymerization with formaldehyde under controlled condition. The reaction is generally carried out in a reactor equipped with jacket and agitator. In the first phase phenol reacts simultaneously, additional formaldehyde may react to produce both di and tri methyl phenol. These alcohols continue to condense and polymerize with each other rapidly and almost violently. During the reaction water is eliminated. Liquid is taken in a reaction kettle and formaldehyde in equal quantity added to it. The solution mixture is heated to 60-70 °C for a short time by circulation of steam through the jacket then the further supply of heat is discontinued. As the reaction is exothermic in nature, heat is liberated with the progress of reaction. Thus the temperature of mixture rises gradually without any further supply of heat. To control temperature, cooling is effected by circulation of water, after a period of about 45 minutes of reaction water gets separated from viscose resin and two layers are formed. The upper layer is of water and bottom layer contains the resin. The product containing 70% solid is drained out from the reaction kettle and stored in a storage tank.

(b) Melamine-formaldehyde (M-F) Resins:

It is manufactured by reacting melamine with formaldehyde in a jacketed reactor. In first step melamine reacts with formaldehyde in aqueous solution (37 % w/w) to form methylol compounds. The reaction is carried out under slightly alkaline condition. Since melamine is not soluble in water at room temperature. It is necessary to heat the mixture to about 80 °C for obtaining methylol compounds. In the preparation of water soluble resins, the solution of methylol

25

compound is further heated under alkaline condition until the desired viscosity or solubility characteristics are obtained from increased molecular weight. Liquid formaldehyde is taken in the reaction vessel and melamine powder is added slowly with stirring. After about 15 minutes caustic soda solution is added and the mixture is heated by steam. The temperature is controlled at about 85°C and the menthol is added as a solvent to reduce the viscosity after this the solution is made acidic by the methylol compound formed and are transformed to water soluble resins. Then the product is made alkaline by adding caustic soda solution (20% strength) and subsequently cooled to room temperature. Finally it is stored in a storage tank.

II. Impregnation of Paper with Resins :

Melamine resin is coated on tissue and design papers, whereas phenolic resin is coated on craft paper. Two impregnation processes will be carried out in a single impregnation unit alternatively to cope up with the production capacity of unit. The melamine formaldehyde resin solution is kept in a tray and paper which is to be coated through guide roll passes viz. drying chamber. The temperature remains at about 90-95 degree C, and heating is done by steam heated air. The process for phenolic resin coating is similar to above. The resin is diluted with spirit to control its viscosity and craft paper to be coated with resin is moved at a speed of 10 meters/minute and drying is done by hot air. The sheets impregnated with melamine formaldehyde resin and phenolic formaldehyde resins, after drying, are cut automatically at other end of dryers in required set size. These are then stored usually in air conditioned godown.

III. Thermo Setting of the Resin Bonded Papers: Thermo setting of the resins impregnated papers is done upon a panel under heat and pressure. In the hydraulic press, tissue and design paper coated with melamine resins and craft paper (fine fold depending on thickness) coated with phenolic resin are cut on glazing separating paper between two stainless steel plates with mirror finish. Hydraulic pressure is raised and heat is supplied by passing steam through the plates. Heat is supplied for about 45 minutes and the temperature controlled at 150-160 °C, the sheets after cooling is sized by cutting machine and transferred for sending on one side. After sending the sheets are ready for packing and stored for dispatch.
